Abstract
Rod outer segments (ROSs) are specialized light-sensitive organelles in vertebrate photoreceptor cells. Lipids in ROS are of considerable importance, not only in providing an adequate environment for efficient phototransduction, but also in originating the second messengers involved in signal transduction. ROSs have the ability to adapt the sensitivity and speed of their responses to ever-changing conditions of ambient illumination. A major contributor to this adaptation is the light-driven translocation of key signaling proteins into and out of ROS. The present review shows how generation of the second lipid messengers from phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidic acid, and diacylglycerol is modulated by the different illumination states in the vertebrate retina. Findings suggest that the light-induced translocation of phototransduction proteins influences the enzymatic activities of phospholipase D, lipid phosphate phosphatase, diacylglyceride lipase, and diacylglyceride kinase, all of which are responsible for the generation of the second messenger molecules.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate is regulated by light in retinal rod outer segment (ROS) membranes. We recently reported that the activities of phosphatidylinositol synthetase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase are also higher in bleached (light-exposed) ROS (B-ROS). In this study, we investigated the effect of bleaching on diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase (DAG-kinase) activity in bovine and rat ROS membranes prepared from dark-adapted (D-ROS) or bleached (B-ROS) retinas. In bovine ROS, DAG-kinase activity toward endogenous DAG substrate was higher in B-ROS than in D-ROS. Quantification of DAG in both sets of membranes showed that the levels were the same, eliminating the possibility that the greater DAG-kinase activity was due to higher levels of endogenous substrate in B-ROS. DAG-kinase activity was also higher in B-ROS against an exogenous, water-soluable substrate (1, 2-didecanoyl-rac-glycerol), which competed with endogenous DAG substrate and saturated at approximately 2 mM. Immunoblot analysis with an anti-DAG-kinase gamma polyclonal antibody demonstrated that the gamma isoform was present in isolated bovine ROS. Immunocytochemistry of frozen bovine retinal sections confirmed the presence of DAG-kinase gamma immunoreactivity in ROS, as well as other retinal cells. Quantification of the immunoreactive products on western blots showed that more DAG-kinase gamma was present in B-ROS than in D-ROS. In an in vivo experiment, ROS prepared from rats exposed to 30 min of room light had greater DAG-kinase activity than ROS prepared from dark-adapted animals. Taken together, these data suggest that light exposure leads to the translocation of DAG-kinase from the cytosol to ROS membranes and that the greater DAG-kinase activity in B-ROS is due to the presence of more protein associated with ROS membranes.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects the rat retina against the injury that ordinarily follows severe ischemia. We showed previously that release of adenosine and de novo protein synthesis were required for IPC protection. The mechanisms of IPC were studied in the rat retina by examining the signal transduction mediators responsible, in particular, those theorized to be downstream of adenosine receptors. In addition, we examined the hypothesis that nitric oxide and hydroxyl radicals were involved in the IPC protective phenomenon. Retinal ischemia was produced for 60 min in ketamine/xylazine-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats, and recovery was measured using electroretinography. We tested the effects on the protective effect of IPC resulting from antagonism of protein kinase C, potassium ATP channels, nitric oxide synthase, or hydroxyl radicals. The effects of the inhibition of de novo protein synthesis or of protein kinase C, and blockade of potassium ATP channels on the mimicking of IPC by adenosine receptor agonists was examined.IPC protection was strongly attenuated by inhibition of protein kinase C and by blockade of potassium ATP channels, but unaffected by the inhibition of hydroxyl radicals. Blockade of nitric oxide synthase produced a trend toward enhancement of IPC protection. Mimicking of IPC protection by adenosine receptor agonists was inhibited by blockade of protein synthesis or of protein kinase C, as well as by potassium ATP channel antagonism. These results demonstrate that protein kinase C and potassium ATP channels are mediators of the protective effect produced by IPC. In addition, the results show that stimulation of adenosine receptor subtypes A1 and A2a is responsible for IPC protection via downstream stimulation of protein kinase C, the opening of potassium ATP channels, and de novo protein synthesis.

Abstract
Pertussis toxin (PTX) has been widely used as a reagent to characterize the involvement of heterotrimeric G-proteins in signalling. This toxin catalyses the ADP-ribosylation of specific G-protein alpha subunits of the Gi family, and this modification prevents the occurrence of the receptor-G-protein interaction. This review focuses on the biochemical properties and signalling of those G-proteins historically classified as 'PTX-resistant' due to the inability of the toxin to influence signalling through them. These G-proteins include members of the Gq and G12 families and one Gi family member, i.e. Gz. Signalling pathways controlled by these G-proteins are well characterized only for Gq family members, which activate specific isoforms of phospholipase C, resulting in increases in intracellular calcium and activation of protein kinase C (PKC), among other responses. While members of the G12 family have been implicated in processes that regulate cell growth, and Gz has been shown to inhibit adenylate cyclase, the specific downstream targets to these G-proteins in vivo have not been clearly established. Since two of these proteins, G12 alpha and Gz alpha, are excellent substrates for PKC, there is the potential for cross-talk between their signalling and Gq-dependent processes leading to activation of PKC. In tissues that express these G-proteins, a number of guanine-nucleotide-dependent, PTX-resistant, signalling pathways have been defined for which the G-protein involved has not been identified. This review summarizes these pathways and discusses the evidence both for the participation of specific PTX-resistant G-proteins in them and for the regulation of these processes by PKC.

Abstract
The localisation and immunochemical identification of three different forms of calcium-independent protein kinase C (PKC-epsilon, PKC-delta and PKC-zeta) in retinas of different species were analysed by immunohistochemistry and SDS-PAGE/Western blotting, respectively. More than one component of different molecular weights reacted with the polyclonal antibodies in all retinal samples though in all instances a component of molecular weight corresponding to the individual PKCs was recognised and could be eliminated or reduced by preincubating the primary antibodies with the peptides used to generate the antibodies. PKC-zeta immunoreactivity was exclusively associated with the inner segments of the photoreceptors in both mammalian (guinea-pig, rabbit, rat) and non-mammalian (goldfish, chick) retinas. PKC-epsilon immunoreactivity is present in bipolar cells, particularly in their terminals of mammalian and goldfish retinas. In the chick retina immunoreactivity for this enzyme and for PKC-delta was with the inner segments of the photoreceptors. The Müller cells in mammalian retinas and a sub-population of ganglion cells in the goldfish retina exhibited positive immunoreactivity for PKC-delta. The immunoreactivities for all the PKC isoenzymes were eliminated or drastically reduced when the primary antibodies were first preincubated with the peptides used to generate the antibodies.

Abstract
We have utilized several peptide specific antisera directed against the C-terminals (Wetsel et al, 1992) of several protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes (alpha, beta 1, beta 11, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta) to delineate the cellular localization of these PKC isozymes in rat retina. Antisera against PKC beta 1, beta 11, gamma, delta and epsilon were non-reactive in frozen rat retina sections, whereas, anti PKC alpha was strongly reactive with the outer plexiform, inner plexiform and nerve fiber cell layers. The most specific localization of immunoreactivity was observed with PKC zeta, which reacted strongly and exclusively with photoreceptor inner segments, but not outer segments. Immunoblot analysis of whole rat retina homogenate showed that anti-PKC alpha recognized an antigen of approximately 80kD and anti-PKC zeta recognized a approximately 72kD protein. Immunolocalization of PKC zeta to photoreceptor inner segments and possible functional significance are discussed.

Abstract
Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) reduced G protein-dependent inhibition of Ca2+ channels by glutamate, GA-BAB, adenosine, muscarinic, alpha-adrenergic, and LHRH receptors in a variety of central and peripheral neurons. PKC stimulation also relieved the inhibitory effect of internal GTP gamma S and reduced tonic G protein-mediated inhibition observed with internal GTP in the absence of transmitter receptor agonist. Basal Ca2+ channel currents were enhanced by PKC stimulation in most neurons studied. The PKC-induced enhancement of basal current was voltage dependent, and enhanced currents displayed altered kinetics. Inhibition of G proteins with GDP beta S attenuated the PKC-induced enhancement of basal Ca2+ channel current. These results show that PKC regulates the inhibitory effects of G proteins, possibly by disrupting the coupling of G proteins to Ca2+ channels. The PKC-induced enhancement of Ca2+ channel current results, at least in part, from the removal of tonic G protein-mediated inhibition.

Abstract
Using isoenzyme-specific antibodies, subtypes of protein kinase C were determined in isolated retinae of dark adapted and light-exposed rats by SDS-PAGE-Western blotting. In addition to the previously observed alpha- and beta-subspecies, the rat retina also expressed the delta-, epsilon- and zeta-isoenzymes of protein kinase C. Exposure of the animals to physiological or high levels of light does not elicit changes in the pattern or in the distribution of the different isoenzymes in the cytosolic or particulate fractions. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the presence of three calcium-independent protein kinase C isoenzymes in the rat retina.

Abstract
Lapine synovial fibroblasts produce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and neutral metalloproteinases in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), human recombinant interleukin-1 (hrIL-1) and, in an autocrine fashion, in response to partially purified preparations of their own cytokines known as cell-activating factors (CAF). Here we have examined the possible role of protein kinase C (PKC) in these responses. Whereas the 80-kDa substrate for PKC could not be detected in synovial fibroblasts, these cells contained a 35-kDa protein which fulfilled the criteria for qualifying as a specific substrate of PKC. Translocation assays based upon phosphorylation of the 35-kDa protein and Western blotting techniques allowed the movement of PKC from the cytosolic to the particulate fraction in response to PMA and CAF to be detected but not in response to 4 alpha-PMA or hrIL-1. Inhibitors of PKC suppressed synovial activation by PMA, partially blocked activation by CAF but had no effect on activation by hrIL-1. There thus appear to be PKC-dependent and PKC-independent routes to synovial cell activation. Our data suggest that IL-1 uses the latter, while CAF contains cytokines which utilize both routes.

Abstract
Transducin is the retinal rod outer segment (ROS)-specific G protein coupling the photoexcited rhodopsin to cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase. The alpha subunit of transducin is known to be ADP-ribosylated by bacterial toxins. We investigated the possibility that transducin is modified in vitro by an endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. By using either ROS, cytosolic extract of ROS or purified transducin in the presence of [alpha-32P]nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), the alpha and beta subunits of transducin were found to be radiolabeled. The labeling was decreased by snake venom phosphodiesterase I (PDE I). The modification was shown to be mono ADP-ribosylation by analyses on thin layer chromatography of the PDE I-hydrolyzed products which revealed only 5'AMP residues. In addition we report that sodium nitroprusside activates the ADP-ribosylation of transducin.
